Photo of the "Gorbals Boys" on the corner of a street: three life-size bronze statues of three boys in silver high heels. Two of the boys are bent over as if to buckle up the shoes. The third is standing, holding his hands together at the groin. There is a plaque in the ground with the names of the boys: Joe, Nicky and Lee

On the weekend of our 25th Anniversary (and 10 years after the inauguration of GWL’s pioneering women’s history walks) we launch a new walk looking at women who made history in the Gorbals: women carving their impression on Art to Industry, Politics to Immigration.

Women of the Gorbals Heritage Walk Launch, Saturday 24th September, 2pm to 4pm
